A Texas-based Planned Parenthood affiliate is leaving the national federation because it doesn't want to perform abortions.
After the Corpus Christi chapter was told that national Planned Parenthood officials were working to standardize their operations, which included a requirement for all affiliates to offer abortions, CEO Amanda Stukenberg told them her chapter focused solely on contraception and birth control, and she has notified the national office that it will change its name to Family Planning of the Coastal Bend. Dr. Joe Pojman of the Texas Alliance for Life is delighted with the news.
"What we're seeing in Corpus Christi is a local Planned Parenthood affiliate which has disaffiliated itself from the national organization because of the national organization's commitment to force them to provide abortions -- something they don't want to do," he explains.
He goes on to point out that this is not the first time evidence has surfaced to reveal that Planned Parenthood's main focus is abortion, as it is the most lucrative part of the clinic's operations.
"This is very consistent with what Abby Johnson, the former director of the Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Bryan, Texas, has been telling us -- that Planned Parenthood has a national campaign to force every local organization that's affiliated with Planned Parenthood to provide abortion on demand," Pojman adds.
When Johnson resigned from her position at Planned Parenthood, she confirmed that abortion is a cash cow, and Pojman says the organization is promoting the practice as a way to pump up revenue. In fact, according to Planned Parenthood's own figures from 2007, prenatal care and adoption referrals only composed five percent of the clinic's total services, while abortions accounted for 95 percent.
